16 September 2021 Revised Neighbourhood Development Plan
Following receipt of the report of the Independent Examiner on the Reg.17A version Tysoe Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP) from 2020, the Local Planning Authority has now decided what action to take in response to each of the recommended modifications set out in the report.

In respect of Natural Environment Policy 6, the decision of the Local Planning Authority differs from that recommended by the Examiner. Therefore, in accordance with Regulation 17A of The Neighbourhood Planning (General) and Development Management Procedure (Amendment) Regulations 2016, the Local Planning Authority must again publicise the proposed amendments to the recommended modifications for a minimum 6 week period, inviting the submission of representations from organisations and individuals on the changes.

Representations on the proposed changes may be made to the Council by no later than 5pm on Friday 29th October 2021. The proposed changes are summarised in the documents below:

You are encouraged to submit your representations electronically by e-mailing planning.policy@stratford-dc.gov.uk .

26 July 2021 NDP Committee Meeting Minutes FINAL
26 July 2021 NDP Committee Meeting Agenda

28 June 2021 Neighbourhood Development Plan Committee Meeting – postponed until lockdown restrictions are lifted.

Tysoe Parish Council are currently taking legal advice on the probity of SDC’s actions in publishing the Examiner’s Fact Check report and have asked for sight of their legal advice.  SDC, as the Planning Authority have a legal obligation to co-operate with parish councils in the preparation of NDPs. We believe that their actions are in breach of this obligation.

In parallel to the legal considerations we have asked for a meeting with SDC to find a pathway to getting our NDP to a referendum – that is our ultimate objective. We anticipate that meeting will take place in the near future.

11 May 2021 Chairman David Roache emailed John Careford, Policy Manager at SDC expressing his concerns with the Examiners report. 2021 05 11 Email to John Careford from Chairman Roache

4 May 2021 SDC reported, after taking legal advice and consulting within their Planning Policy department, they would publish the despite our objections.

25 March 2021 SDC sent the Examiner’s Fact Check report (his draft report for which he is seeking to correct any factual errors).  On reading this Fact Check report we immediately realised that the Examiner had far exceeded his brief which is to very strictly consider whether our Plan complies with Basic Conditions – a very narrow legal brief. In his Fact Check report the Examiner makes extensive comment on a development which Loxton had proposed in their representation on our Reg 17a Plan. His comments, in our opinion, constitute a pre-determination of the proposed development, something that the Examiner should not have done. This, we believe, is highly prejudicial to Tysoe’s interests. The proposed development in question would be within the Strategic Gap ( a plot of land protected from most forms of development) proposed in our Reg 17a Plan.

We raised strenuous objections to the Examiner’s report and asked that SDC did not publish it because of its prejudicial nature.

11 March 2021 Tysoe Parish Council and SDC responded to the Examiner with clarifications including comments on two of the representations that the Examiner was particularly interested in – those from Loxton Developments and from the White family and Lone Star. Tysoe NDP Reg. 17A – Clarification Note with TPC & SDC comments

17 April 2020 – Email to Stratford District Council confirming preparations to move to Regulation 17a consultations

Dear Sirs
Re: Tysoe Neighbourhood Plan
Whilst we are obviously incredibly disappointed with the outcome of recent correspondence between David Roache, Chairman of the Tysoe Parish Council Neighbourhood Planning Group, and officers of Stratford District Council, we accept that to move forward, without detriment to the Parish, concessions must be made.

As a Parish Council we will now prepare to move to a Regulation 17a consultation focusing on the amended Reserve Sites and the Strategic Gap policies.  We accept that the proposed BUAB for Lower Tysoe is no longer tabled for discussion.  Our aim is to proceed to referendum and to receive Stratford District Council acceptance of the Plan as soon as possible.

We look forward to working with colleagues from Stratford District Council in the future to draw the plan to a mutually agreeable close.

Yours sincerely
Beverley Thorpe
Tysoe Parish Clerk

14 April 2020 – Neighbourhood Plan update
Following receipt of the Examiner’s report on our Plan last month and subsequent legal advice we arranged to meet with the District Council on 17th March. For obvious reasons this meeting was cancelled and no new date arranged. I did have a lengthy phone conversation with the Senior Planning Policy officer and exchanged ideas on a way forward. The purpose of these discussions is to agree on a Plan that protects Tysoe from unwanted development and preserves the things we all value. We will continue to discuss the Plan with the District Council in the hope that, despite the current crisis, we can agree on a way forward.

David Roache, Chairman, Neighbourhood Plan Group

15 May 2019 – Submission Plan
The Submission version of the Neighbourhood Plan is now with the District Council for consultation. The consultation period will run from Thursday 16th May to Friday 28th June. All of the documents can be viewed here or they can be viewed at www.stratford.gov.uk/nplan where comments on the Plan can also be posted.
Once the consultation period is over the Plan plus any comments and the Parish Council’s responses to those comments will be given to an independent Examiner who will take up to three months to write a report. If, as expected, he then recommends that the Plan goes to referendum, probably with a few recommended amendments, the referendum is likely to be in late November or December of this year.
This is your Plan and, when the time comes, it is important that you vote. Watch out for further publicity around the village regarding the timing of a referendum and other matters on the Plan.

All comments will be considered and in due course a joint statement will be released by the PC/NPG .

5 January 2017 – Housing Needs Survey – Summary of Results
Our thanks go to all of you who filled in Housing Needs Survey forms. The 174 forms returned represent an excellent response for such an exercise. The survey sought to discover what housing is required for people with a local connection and to find what support there is for an affordable housing scheme.  It also gave the opportunity to express other opinions which could influence development within the village.

AGING POPULATION
The survey confirmed that Tysoe has an ageing population which could lead to problems of sustainability. There is a  preponderance of larger houses, above average for Stratford District Council, this combined with an ageing population means that most dwellings are under-occupied.

IDENTIFIED NEED

  • The survey identified a need for eleven new homes in Tysoe Parish for households with a local connection
  • These should comprise a mixture of Housing Association Rental, Housing Association Shared Ownership and Owner occupier dwellings.  Seven of these would be small flats, two 2-bedroom houses and two small bungalows.
  • Responses indicated that there is a clear appetite among residents to meet the need for affordable housing within the parish.
  • There is a need for more smaller houses to allow residents of larger houses to downsize as their requirements change.

YOU VALUE HIGHLY

  • The rural and historic environment of the village
  • The shops and services

YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT

  • Transport links
  • Problems with traffic and parking
  • Proportionate development  (not housing estates)
  • Broadband
  • Flooding

NEXT STEPS
We will use information from the survey to inform the next draft of our Neighbourhood Plan.  Watch for details on the Parish Website and village notice board.

The Neighbourhood Planning Group is setting up a sub-committeee to consider options for affordable housing development in Tysoe. Let us know if you interested in getting involved, please contact: David Roache on: 680309 or email: djroache@buzzinternet.co.uk

17 November 2017 – Publicity About Public Consultation – Parish Council Disclaimer
It has come to the notice of the Parish Council that flyers about the upcoming Public Consultation 25th – 26th November 2016, calling on residents to vote against certain sites have been distributed to some households in Tysoe.

The Consultation has been organised by the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Committee on behalf of the Parish Council. Its purpose is to allow residents of Tysoe to decide which potential sites for development they prefer and which they like the least.

Neither the Steering Committee nor the Parish Council are offering any opinion on the suitability or unsuitability of any of the potential sites and any publicity about the consultation expressing such opinions does not come from them.

30 September 2016 – Tysoe Neighbourhood Plan – “Call for Sites”

Do you have any sites suitable for development?

shlaa-call-for-sites-form

As part of the Neighbourhood Plan, Tysoe is required to identify and keep a register of sites. From 1 September till 31st October the new Working Party for the Neighbourhood Plan will be running a ‘Site Allocation consultation’.

If you have a site which you think would be suitable for development in the Tysoe Parish, then you will need to fill out a ‘Call for Sites’ form which you can find on the website on the link above, or pick up a form from Tysoe Village Shop and Tea Rooms and return it to the Parish Clerk so it can be added to the Register.   Please complete the form if you would like to suggest land for future development in Stratford on Avon District.  The sites will be assessed as part of the SHLAA and used in the preparation of the Site Allocation Plan which can be viewed at www.stratford.gov.uk/siteallocations

Please only submit sites capable of delivering 1 or more homes.

For those who have already applied as part of an earlier ‘Call for Sites’, there is no need to reapply as your site details will already be on the register. If you miss this consultation period, don’t panic as applications can always be added later.

Please come along to any of the meetings of the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Committee if you have any questions about the Site Allocation consultation, you will find details of our next meeting on the Parish noticeboard.

2 February 2016 – Tysoe Needs You

Tysoe Parish Council is intent on getting our Neighbourhood Plan completed.

We are determined to have it done well, with as much involvement of the community as possible. We want to produce a Neighbourhood Plan of which we can all feel proud, and which meets the needs and aims of the Parish of Tysoe.

We need help from the residents of Tysoe to achieve this.

At this stage we need a number of people with a range of skills: for example, marketing, project management, communications, event management, planning, document writing, workshop facilitation, local knowledge and connections.

Most of all we need people with common sense and an interest in the well-being of our community.

Do you have any of these or other skills which you could offer?

You would be asked to be a member of a small working group, taking part in one of a number of projects, over the next 2 to 3 months. We would give you a clear briefing of what will be needed.

The former Steering Group did a lot of work to get us to where we are, but much remains to be done to get the Plan completed.

Please let us know your interest by getting in touch with any Parish Councillor, by phone, email or otherwise.

The following Councillors are responsible for guiding this phase of the Plan’s development:

  • Keith Risk: Tel: 01295 680 522 Email: keith.risk@tysoe.org.uk
    Jacqui Sinclair: 01295 680 592 Email: Jacqui.sinclair@tysoe.org.uk
